    Fair enough. We’ll all suffer this together

    If we win tonight, I will donate £100 to the Good Law project and buy a copy of Jolyon Maugham’s terrible book

    That’s how confident I am that we won’t

    I’ve already told my mates who are ready to banter me I’ll buy them dinner if we win.

    It ain’t happening.

    a good result would be a spirited performance and defeat by the odd goal, I suspect we're looking at something more like a 4-1 though, where our niaivities and inexperience are well and truly shown up

    what's really annoying is the way people are talking it up like it matters, the title's already gone, I suppose if we won it might shake City up a tiny bit, but tbh we'd probably just drop points elsewhere and hand it to them anyway

    Bollocks to that, a defeat is a defeat no matter how nicely it’s dressed up or how much effort the players put in. I don’t think we played at all badly when we last went to the Etihad in January but we still lost (so it wasn’t a good result even though I still maintain an unneeded cup run did not help us so wasn’t heart broken)

    A good result is a win. Drawing with Southampton made nothing else acceptable. Just because we believe (and with good reason) that a win is unattainable it doesn’t change what the parameters of a good result are.

    Tonight we will be disappointed and there’s simply no way of skirting around that.

    It still matters until the final whistle goes tonight and confirms an Arsenal defeat. Then it’s all pretty much in miracle territory.

    A win would be monumental. I’d still question our ability to take maximum points from the next few games that follow but there’s no doubt a win would offer up one final and very real chance to win the league.

    Funnily enough I’m not even nervous about this game anymore. I would have been shitting bricks if we had taken at least 7 points from the last 3 because then we would have been on the brink of winning it. Now we’re just clinging on to a fading dream.
